Bahrain-Victorious are to ride Bianchi bikes from 2026, after a "multi-year" agreement was announced on Thursday afternoon.

The possibility of the partnership was made available once Merida had left the squad , which was revealed last week. Bianchi had previously provided bikes to Arkéa-B&B Hotels, with that team ceasing to exist at the end of this season.

Bahrain will use the Oltre RC and the Specialissima RC in road races, the Aquila RC in time trials, and the Impulso RC in gravel. Among the riders using Bianchi next season will be Lenny Martinez, Antonio Tiberi and Matej Mohorič. You may like
